Some devices (interfaces) have very long internal names -- like "TenGigabitEthernet1/6" -- and that leaves only 7 more characters to be displayed of the description -- like we see "L2 - as...." and that's it. The full description is "L2 - asx-xxx-xxx (te0/0/5) via XXX xxxxxxxx 25.xxxx.xxxx..xxxx"
So, while ~I~ may be intimately familiar with what port 1/6 is on device xxx -- management, and even other engineers, may not be familiar (especially when sharing to a non-network team member)
It would be helpful if we could chose to display as "shortname" for the interface (it's in Orion as "Te1/6") -- that would gain back 15 or so characters (eg, Te1/6 vs. TenGigabitEthernet1/6)
Alternatively, at least, if one was to hover the mouse somehow and see the FULL description -- that'd be at least a tactical help.
